A tradition of the Stuttgart Lions Club is fast approaching with the annual shrimp boil fundraiser, which will be held from 4 to 6 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 24, at the Knights of Columbus Hall at 12th Street and Park Avenue.

"This is our favorite fundraiser," Blake Frizell, chairperson of the fundraiser, said. "All of the Lions Club members will be there."

Frizzell said the fundraiser, which is very popular with the community, funds a number of programs throughout the year that the Stuttgart Lions Club supports.

"We, at the Stuttgart Lions Club, support vision programs throughout the year and diabetes awareness," Frizzell said.

The Stuttgart Lions Club also distributes scholarships at the end of the school year to deserving seniors graduating from schools in Stuttgart, Nelson White, scholarship chairperson, said.

"The Leo Club is the high school Lions Club," White said. "Members attend the weekly Lions Club meeting."

"We also do Liberty Day in March and 'Bowling for Kids' at the local bowling lanes," Frizzell said.

Shrimp boil plates include a half pound of jumbo shrimp, corn on the cob, potatoes, cocktail sauce and a lemon. Carry-out only tickets are $10.

"The cutoff date for purchasing tickets is Friday, Oct. 18," Frizzell said. "We have to have a ticket count."
